Gallant & Beau is merging its British pocket squares and socks with Clark & Madison’s leather
goods, Singer + Sargent’s clothes, and some nice furniture and Wheelhouse bikes. And tonight, there’s a
grand-opening party with Ventura Spirits drinks. Drinks seemed like the only things missing.
Thursday
THAT CINCO FEELING
Tequila. An All-Female Mariachi Band. Must Be May 5.
If you must celebrate Cinco tomorrow, the only conscionable move is to do it at El Chavo, where
Jarritos-and-mezcal cocktails and Mexican wrestlers will collide. And/or at Las Perlas, where margarita
specials will be paired with an all-female mariachi band. Only if you must.
Saturday
FULL MAST
An Oompa Loompa–Free Chocolate Factory
New York’s Mast Brothers are grand-opening their Arts District chocolate factory and shop on Saturday.
Come for a tour and taste goat’s milk chocolate bars, chocolate chip cookies and the new chocolate beer
they’re brewing. Chocolate beer. Felt worth repeating, is all.
DERBY DEEDS
Horse Racing with a Side of Zebras
You’re up at Saddlerock Ranch, surrounded by attractive people in fetching hats. There’s a julep in your
hand. Live bluegrass is playing. Everyone’s watching the Kentucky Derby on giant screens. Yet you’re
slightly more intrigued by the actual giraffes, zebras and camels all around you. Anyway, those are your
Derby plans.
Sunday
LOCK STAR
Rum, Scotch Eggs and Mom
You should do something special for Mother’s Day. Like taking Mom to Lock & Key’s new three-course
brunch of Filipino breakfast foods. There, she can have adobo chicken and waffles, longanisa Scotch eggs and
drinks with rum, amaretto and boba in them. Now you’re even for that whole gift-of-life thing.
